| 2007 YCC Season |
|
2007 marked the second year of the Acton Wakefield Watersheds Alliance (AWWA) Youth Conservation Corps (YCC). Following the success of the 2006 season, our mission was to continue that momentum with an increase in the number of YCC project sites. We were able to secure funding for weekend projects during the months of June and September with a focus of providing assistance on municipal sites in both Wakefield and Acton. We provide free landscape design to lakefront homeowners within the Salmon Falls and Ossipee River Watersheds. Over an eight-week full-time period and seven-week part-time period, the YCC completed 20 projects on the lakes in Acton, ME and Wakefield, NH. This report will outline the projects the crew worked on as well as the erosion issues prevalent on the site and some of the challenges the project offered. In addition to the 20 YCC projects completed this season, the technical director also completed 25 technical assistance designs. Read the full 2007 AWWA YCC Season Report.
